I am trying to alias for Python in .bashrc file. I am entering this command to tell Git Bash where to find the Python executable file.

"python --version winpty" from within my [Git Bash] and unfortunately, I am getting this error:

MINGW64 ~
$ python --version
winpty: error: cannot start '"C:/Program Files/WindowsApps/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_1.4.3161.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe/AppInstallerPythonRedirector.exe" --version': Access is denied. (error 0x5)

How should I run python from the [Git Bash] properly?

Thank you.

    You should change App Installers of python.exe and python3.exe as *off* from Settings/Apps/App Execution Aliases. I faced same error and it resolved. You can also check the link for detailed explanation. https://stackoverflow.com/a/57168165/15658588 Thanks to @notanumber – Gamze Jun 24 '21 at 13:53

Search for "App execution aliases" in Windows and make sure Appl Installer for python.exe is turned off. Sample Screenshot
